Frequent throat infection and fever
Hi,
I have had throat infection followed by fever for 4 times over the last 6 month. Now I have throat infection, fever, headache and body pain. Should I again take the antibiotics course with paracetamol along with gargling? How do I put it to an end?
Thanks in advance.

You seem to be suffering from recurrent viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection. For present symptoms you need to take antibiotics, and paracetamol for few days. Use clean water and do regular salt water gargling to avoid recurrent infections
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
